What Ian paid for his v34 modem poll
Doing some more tidying at the flat, I came across the receipt for the V34 modem I bought in January 1995.
For those of you who've forgotten :) this was capable of a maximum of 28,000 bits a second, or 50% of what a v90 56k dialup modem will download, and 5% of a 512k xDSL link.
I think it was to upgrade from a 14k4 modem - I was now paying the phone bill :) - and was eventually replaced by a v90 56k modem once a standards war had been settled.
